We love when events like #NRF2025 bring together retail technology enthusiasts and experts from around the globe to share their experiences. We like to contribute and work with our partners and customers to identify trends, demonstrate solutions and discuss applications. 👉 On Saturday, Ian Scott kicked us off with a retail safari, showing us a wonderful mix of stores in Soho, from huge international brands to delightful independent start-ups creating unforgettable physical experiences. 👉 On Monday morning, our client adidas gave us and our partners an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at their flagship store in New York. Participants of the store visit learned how adidas uses the GK CLOUD4RETAIL to strengthen their customer relationships. 👉 Tomorrow, we will kick off with the GK Breakfast Briefing at Starbucks Reserve® Empire State Building®. During the event with our valued partners VusionGroup, Elo Touch Solutions and Fujitsu we will take advantage of the early morning networking opportunity and learn from JCPenney's Irfan Butt on how to set new retail standards, drive growth and meet the changing needs of today's consumers. We are grateful and excited about the many opportunities to share and network at this year's NRF.
